Hi, I have Bacula running with an IBM TL3400. As the tapes are bar coded Bacula can read the library and add the tapes to it's catalogue. I can than move then to the backup pools. My issue is the tapes have not had a volume written to the front of the tape using the label command they fail to mount with the following bconsole status.
Device "Drive-3" (/dev/nst2) open but no Bacula volume is currently mounted. Device is BLOCKED waiting for mount of volume "CBP10020", Pool: snapshot-pool Media type: LTO-3 Slot 11 is loaded in drive 2. Total Bytes Read=0 Blocks Read=0 Bytes/block=0 Positioned at File=0 Block=0 Tape CBP10020 is in /dev/nst2 but is blank. How do I get Bacula to automatically initialise the tape and write the volume label. My storage definition is as follows:- Device { Name = Drive-3 # Drive Index = 2 Media Type = LTO-3 Archive Device = /dev/nst2 AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it AlwaysOpen = yes; RemovableMedia = yes; RandomAccess = no; AutoChanger = yes Alert Command = "sh -c 'smartctl -H -l error %c'" Maximum Spool Size = 100GB # Spool Size = 40GB Maximum Job Spool Size = 40GB Spool Directory = /backup/hosts/SPOOL } I sort of assumed that AutomaticMount would do it. I am reluctant to use LabelMedia because I am not sure it will use that label on the bar code rather than issuing a new one. Can anyone confirm that behaviour of LabelMedia when used with a bar coded auto-changer?
